Another very weak year.
Those I like from my own collection:
Das Boot (Wolfgang Petersen): one of the greatest war movies ever, but best to watch the original TV series (the most complete version). It has been released on DVD in film format.
Body Heat (Lawrence Kasdan) best of the neo-Noirs?
Excalibur (John Boorman is always interesting but the casting partly spoiled it for me)
Reds (1981) worthy, but duller than it should have been
Thief (Michael Mann)
Quest for Fire
Cutter's Way: I need to re-watch this. I think I had the wrong expectations.
Of those mentioned by others which I have seen, but are not in my collection, I liked:
Southern Comfort
Ragtime
Gregory's Girl
Chariots of Fire
Sadly, I have never seen Coup de Torchon (Bertrand Tavernier)

Superman II is actually a 1980 movie (not 1981 as it came to the US and a few other countries in 1981) but is actually a 1980 movie as it came out Christmas 1980 in the UK and a few other countries even Japan.

Wow, The Fox and the Hound came out in the early 80s?! I thought it was from, like, 1954. Womp.

The top movies for me: Chariots of Fire -- good movie. Ian Charleson was very good in it The score by Vangelis was excellent. I had a car without a radio, when this movie came out. I had the score on cassette or maybe it was 8 track. I used to turn it all the way up when driving down the highway, brings back good memories.  On Golden Pond -- Henry Fonda's last movie. The French Lieutenant's woman -- I was and am such a Jeremy Iron's fan. This was also right around the time he did Brideshead Revisited -- this is my favorite made for TV miniseries. There was a thread about favorite made for tv miniseries. I can't believe I did not remember this one when I posted to that thread. JI and Anthony Andrews were excellent  Mommie Dearest -- no nore wire hangers!!!! Bustin' Loose -- the late, great Richard Pryor |
